10/10 Excellent

The location and quality of this property were second to none with views out to sea at front and mountains out back. There is a nice decked area both front and back and having an electric blind in the bedroom was a fantastic idea. You could just lay in bed, open the blind and watch the sunrise over the sea. Perfect, the bath is also fantastic having the full opening door to the deck by the bath. This is a wonderful place to stay and a short walk to the beach, was great to sit out front and see...
